Forests and Innovation
On the International Day of Forests (21 March), we recognize the transformative impact of innovation and technology on forest monitoring, enhancing tracking and reporting capabilities for countries. With 10 million hectares lost yearly to deforestation and 70 million hectares affected by fires, combating deforestation demands new technological advancements. These are crucial for early warning systems, sustainable commodity production, and empowering Indigenous Peoples. Join the Day's celebration and engage in the conversation on social media using the #ForestDay hashtag and the promotional materials.
